OBJECTIVES: The aim of this double-blind, parallel study was to test the clinical efficacy of a newly developed mouthrinse in the treatment of oral halitosis in patients without periodontitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Forty volunteers, recruited in two centers, participated in this study. Patients were selected on the basis of (1) halitosis of oral origin, (2) full-mouth organoleptic score>1, using an arbitrary 0-5 scale, (3) level of volatile sulfur compounds (VSC)>170 parts per billion (ppb) and (4) Winkel tongue coating index (WTCI)>4 (0-12). Intervention included gargling with a mouthrinse containing chlorhexidine (0.05%), cetylpyridinium chloride (0.05%) and zinc-lactate (0.14%) or with a placebo mouthrinse without active ingredients. At days 0 and 14 clinical variables were assessed in order of performance: (1) organoleptic assessments, (2) levels of VSC, and (3) WTCI. RESULTS: Treatment with the active mouthrinse resulted in a significant mean reduction in the organoleptic score from 2.8 to 1.5 (p<0.005). In the placebo group, no significant reduction in the mean organoleptic score occurred. Consequently, this resulted, after 2 weeks, in a greater change of the organoleptic scores in the test group in comparison to the placebo group (p<0.005). The mean VSC scores were reduced from 292 to 172 ppb in the test group (p<0.005), whereas no reduction was observed in the placebo group. At the 2-week examination, the mean change of the VSC scores in the test group was significantly greater than the mean change in the placebo group (p<0.005). Neither in the test nor in the placebo group a significant reduction in tongue coating was observed. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, the tested mouthrinse is effective in the treatment of oral halitosis.

are you THE real JZ? You have BB too?

Elliott,
Yes, I am JZ and have BB too.
I suffer from BB since my childhood.

I already used about 8 bottles of halita and have not experienced improvement yet.
For about 20 euro a bottle.
Thats why I want to know what other people think of this product.
If a read the report of the scientific research then it have to work.

But I have realy my doubts about it.
One of the docs who promotes this product said in a forum that we perhaps use it wrong. You must gargle it with stuck out tongue during 1 minute.

Halita has not strong taste.
So I think it never can work because if you look deep in your throat at the back of your tongue then you can see what it has to remove.

I think that we need a more mechanical cure instead of a mouth or throat water.

what do you "see" when you look down your throat?
Mine is just pink, but is still allegedly "cryptic".

Deep down my throat I see a thick harsh white coating when I look with a little dental mirror.

The first product I ever tried.

I think you guys know the rest of the story.

Yes something like that, but I think its harder (more difficult to remove).
I will try to make a picture but its very difficult to do this with a dental mirror in your hand.
Light is also a problem deep in your throat.
The best is a fiber camera thru the nose what the ENT´s use.
One time when an ENT looked at my throat with a fiber camera I heard him (soft) saying: "I don´t gone start on that" But you know they never speak straight to you what the problem is.

I'll try to take a pic as well.
